Romancing
the Bead:
A beautiful garden-inspired art glass bead line
in sterling silver. Comes ready-to-wear on beautiful
sterling chain in seafoam moire gift box. See
Lea's new "Romancing the Bead" series
at a show near you (see schedule).

Spring
Garden Beads:
This is one of my most popular styles. In soft,
romantic shades of ivory, lavender, rose blush,
and spring green, these surface-embellished beads
are perfect in Victorian-inspired jewelry, accented
with freshwater pearls, crystals, and Bali silver.
Large focal beads and vessels are hollow with all-over
surface embellishment of flowers and vines; smaller
sizes are also available.

Tropical
Garden Beads: This
is a new series of beads for me featuring a large,
flattened-round "tablet" shape that is
very dramatic and elegant. The beads have a black
core accented with golden adventurine, spring-green
vines, and large tropical flowers, each with a tiny
air-bubble forever captured in its center by a heavy
encasement of sparkling crystal. The flowers are
available in many colors.

Sea
Garden Beads: This
is also a new style bead for me. The base bead is
black with a dichroic coating and features floating
"seaweed" and colorful sea blossoms in
magical color combinations, no two ever alike! Each
little fantasy underwater scene is heavily encased
in sparkling crystal for a paper-weight effect.
The Sea Gardens were inspired by Pati Walton's wonderful
aquarium beads and the intriguing "gizmos"
first introduced by Bud Mellichamp of Chimera Glass.

Garden
Minis:
The garden minis are small floral beads in a gardenful
of floral shades! The minis are available in a
set as shown or individually by special order.

Hydrangeas:
The hydrangeas are a new line of beads inspired
by the wonderful blue hydrangeas which bloom profusely
in Cape Cod in the summertime! The hydrangea beads
come in a variety of sizes from a large asymmetrical
hollow (approximately 1 1/2 inches in diameter)
to a small size suitable for bracelets or earrings
(approximately 1/2 inch in diameter). The hydrangea
beads are available in a variety of garden hues.
